Credit card fraud detection analysis (Python)
Explored a credit card transactions dataset with Python to understand how fraudulent transactions differ from legitimate ones.
Details / full description:
Cleaned and prepared transaction data using pandas, focusing on key numerical features.
Visualized the distribution of fraudulent transaction amounts and compared them with normal transactions.
Calculated summary statistics (mean, median, ranges) to highlight unusual spending patterns.
Interpreted the results to show how this type of analysis can support fraud‑risk monitoring and model development.
